STRUCT DEVLINK_DPIPE_TABLE_OPS(9)

💅 struct devlink_dpipe_table_ops(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual and you stumble on struct devlink_dpipe_table_ops. that's the whole vibe of this page. it's a struct, it's full of function pointers, and it's genuinely so important. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct devlink_dpipe_table_ops — literally the dpipe_table ops. that's it, that's the name, no notes 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the struct in all its glory, copy-pasted exactly so you don't have to squint at the original:

struct devlink_dpipe_table_ops {
    int (*actions_dump)(void *priv, struct sk_buff *skb);
    int (*matches_dump)(void *priv, struct sk_buff *skb);
    int (*entries_dump)(void *priv, bool counters_enabled, struct
devlink_dpipe_dump_ctx *dump_ctx);
    int (*counters_set_update)(void *priv, bool enable);
    u64 (*size_get)(void *priv);
 };

like, look at those function pointers. main character energy honestly 👑

---

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so here's the roster, member by member. no skipping, we're doing all five:

• actions_dump — int (*actions_dump)(void *priv, struct sk_buff *skb); — this one dumps all the table's actions. all of them. every single one 💖
• matches_dump — int (*matches_dump)(void *priv, struct sk_buff *skb); — and this one dumps all the table's matches. yes it's the sibling of the one above, they're a matched set, iykyk ✨
• entries_dump — int (*entries_dump)(void *priv, bool counters_enabled, struct devlink_dpipe_dump_ctx *dump_ctx); — this bad boy dumps all the active entries in the table. active only, bestie, we're not lugging around the inactive ones 🦋
• counters_set_update — int (*counters_set_update)(void *priv, bool enable); — so when you're changing the counter status, the hardware sync maybe needs to happen, because it might need to allocate or free counter-related resources. note the "maybe" — that's the kernel being mysterious, not me 🙈
• size_get — u64 (*size_get)(void *priv); — gets the size. simple. iconic. does exactly what it says on the tin 💀

that's the page, bestie! 🧚

this one came from ./include/net, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct devli...pe_table_ops(9) because even the manpage headers get truncated sometimes 😭 slay 💅
